Operating Instructions
PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
A. FILL THE RINSE
AID DISPENSER
RINSE AID DISPENSER
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from form-
ing droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also
improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwash-
er is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located
inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open
the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator
turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about
110ml.
FUNCTION OF RINSE AID
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough
rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
ATTENTION
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g.
dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage
the appliance.
WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE DISPENSER
The amount of rinse aid can be judged by the color of the optical level
indicator “C” located next to the cap. When the rinse aid container is full,
the whole indicator will be black. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of
the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4
full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level
indicator changes, as illustrated below.

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
ATTENTION
Clean up any rinse aid
spills during filling with
an absorbent cloth to
avoid excessive foaming
during the next wash.
Don't forget to replace
the cap before you close
dishwasher door.

Operating Instructions
PRIOR USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER
The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. The recommended setting is on
"3". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial
to the next higher number on "4".
NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the
dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky white stains on your
dishes or a blue tinged film on glassware or knife blades.

B. FUNCTION OF
DETERGENT
PROPER USE OF DETERGENT
Detergents with chemical ingredients are necessary to clean dirt from
kitchenware and remove it from the dishwasher.
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your
detergent fresh and dry.
Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to begin
a new cycle
DETERGENTS
There are 3 types of detergents.
1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine
CONCENTRATED DETERGENT
Based on their chemical composition, the detergents can be split in two
basic types:
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of “normal” washing programs in conjunction with concentrated
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash pro-
grams are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the
enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason normal wash pro-
grams in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same
results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programs.

Operating Instructions
PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle follow-
ing the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table . Your dishwasher
uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher.
Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash
load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add
the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get
damp and will not dissolve properly.

STARTING A WASHING PROGRAM
You can modify the washing program when the dishwasher just runs for a
short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released,
and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the
case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled.

AT THE END OF THE
WASH CYCLE
When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer will sound for 8 seconds,
then stop. Turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, shut off the
water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes
before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils
while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also
dry better.
• Turn off the dishwasher
All the phase lights are off!
1.Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2.Turn off the water tap!
• Open the door carefully
Hot dishes are sensitive to impact. The dishes should therefore be
allowed to cool down around 15 minutes before being removed from the
appliance. Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few min-
utes before removing the dishes. This way they will be cooler and the dry-
ing will be improved.
• Unloading the dishwasher
It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.
WARNING
It is dangerous to open the door during operation because the hot
water may scald you.
Installation Instructions
The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the exist-
ing inlet and drain hoses and power cord. One side of the cabinet
sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of drain hoses to
the dishwasher.

diately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized.
2. To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, first make
sure the water line (faucet) is closed, then press and hold the red
pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water
stops.
WARNING
Failure to relieve water pressure before disconnecting the quick
connect from the faucet will result in back pressure over-spray.
The temperature of the incoming water can be very hot and can
cause severe burns and/or scalding.
DANGER
Do not let children disconnect the dishwasher. Close supervision
of children is always important around appliances.
NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing perform-
ance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to
'lime' (white film substance) deposits and/or 'scaling' on the stainless steel
surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump
underneath the removable filter screen. To minimize these conditions, it is
recommended to operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using
1 cup of white vinegar once a week.
DISCONNECTING YOUR DISHWASHER
1. Shut off the water supply at the faucet.
2. Disconnect the power supply cord
3. Relieve water pressure
4. Pull down on the quick connect collar
Installation Instructions
The following things should be checked before starting the
dishwasher:
STARTING THE
DISHWASHER
1
The dishwasher is level and fixed properly
2
3
There is no leakage at the connections of the conducts.
4
The wires are tightly connected
5
The power is turned on
6
Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are not twisted
All packing materials and removable printings should be taken out from
the dishwasher
Care and maintenance
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from
getting inside the pump.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main filter) and a micro
filter (fine filter).
FILTERING
SYSTEM
Main filter
1
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet
on the spray arm and washed down to drain.
Fine filter
2
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and
prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during a wash cycle.
Course filter
3
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain
are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter,
gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift it out.
FILTER ASSEMBLY
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it
to be recycled throughout a cycle. For best performance and results, the
filter assembly must be regularly cleaned. For this reason, it is a good
idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each
wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water. To remove
the filter assembly, pull upward on the cup handle in the upward direction.
Note: It is recommended that you remove and rinse the filters after
each wash cycle.

WARNING
• Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
• The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
• Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance
level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Step 1. Rotate the fine filter counter-
clockwise
Step 2. Lift it up.
Step 3. Lift the main filter up.
NOTE: If you follow the steps from Step1 to Step 3, the filter system will
be removed; if you follow the steps from Step 3 to Step 1, the filter system
will be installed.
- Inspect the filters for blockage every time the dishwasher is used.
- By unscrewing the coarse filter you can remove the filter system.
Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.
- The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.
CLEANING THE FILTER
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush.
Reassemble the filter parts and reinsert the entire assembly in the dish-
washer, by positioning it in the proper location and pressing downward.
WARNING
When cleaning the filters, handle with care. Otherwise, the filters
could be damaged and the performance of dishwasher could be
reduced.
CARING FOR THE
DISHWASHER
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth and
dried thoroughly. For the exterior use a good quality appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of
the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE DOOR
To clean the edge around the door,
you should use only a soft damp cloth.
To avoid penetration of water into the
door lock and electrical components,
do not use a spray cleaner of any
kind.
WARNING
• Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may dam-
age the door lock and electrical components.
Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not be used
because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless
steel surface.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the noz-
zles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and
carefully replace them in their proper position, checking that their rotary
movement is in no way impeded.
Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the
arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their posi-
tion. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely.
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR DISHWASHER
After Every Wash
Turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open
so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
• Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from
the socket.
• No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use sol-
vents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy
water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a
cloth dampened with water with a little vinegar, or a cleaning product
made specifically for dishwashers.
• When it is Not in Use
It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and
then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave
the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals last
longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.
• Seals
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that
remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will
prevent this from occurring.
Error Codes:
Speed Cycle Light is Flashing: The water faucet may not be turned on,
the water intake is obstructed or the water pressure is too low.
Glass Cycle Light is Flashing: An area of the unit may be leaking. Turn
off the water supply and call for service.
